Books and Publications

Buy Essential PHP Security Essential PHP Security Companion Web Site

Essential PHP Security

My critically-acclaimed guide to secure PHP programming.

This is nothing short of a seminal work on web application security as it applies specifically to PHP.

Robert Peake

Read many more reviews, download sample chapters, and browse the code repository on the companion web site.

Buy HTTP Developer's Handbook

HTTP Developer's Handbook

The definitive guide to the HTTP protocol for web developers.

Where the book really sparkles is in the section on improving performance. Few books have looked at the HTTP protocol's underlying mechanisms for controlling caching as this one. In lucid prose, Shiflett presents the various caching directives and their exact meaning.
